TURNER APOLOGISES TO CAGE OVER BOOK CLAIMS

LATEST: KATHLEEN TURNER has apologised to NICOLAS CAGE for "causing distress" by accusing the actor of drink-driving and theft in her new autobiography. Cage began libel proceedings against his Peggy Sue Got Married co-star in London's High Court last week (08Feb08) after claiming her new book Send Yourself Roses was full of false claims about him. In the book, Turner alleges Cage went to great lengths to disobey his director uncle Francis Ford Coppola on the set of their 1986 movie, adding he found himself in trouble with police while filming. But the 53-year-old actress insists she had no intention for the contents of her book to upset Cage, or anybody else, and is deeply sorry for any hurt caused. She says, "I guess what I can say is I'm truly sorry if I caused distress or harm, because one thing is for sure - I never, ever intended to do that. "This is what I remember, these are my thoughts and (they were) certainly not intended to damage anyone else."
